WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAA), the leading live and live-online salvage auto auction company and wholly-owned subsidiary of KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE: KAR), announced today that it is the exclusive bike auction company sponsor of the 73^rd Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the nation's largest motorcycle event.

The event takes place in Sturgis, S.D. from August 5 – 11, 2013. Last year's rally brought more than 450,000 visitors.

"The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has become an important American tradition that is steeped in history, and we are pleased to provide our support for the third consecutive year," said John Kett, president and chief financial officer at Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc.

IAA's participation in the seven-day event will be demonstrated through various initiatives. This year's key highlight will be IAA's presenting sponsorship of the Mayor's Parade on opening day, wherein an IAA auction van will lead the parade. IAA will also promote the event via its onsite booth, traditional and digital ads, billboards and street banners.
